He gets to know the country and its people, the variety of its landscapes and the many contrasts, getting entangled in in the political situation and way of life in South Africa.
Originally published in 1949.
Stage adaptation
Adapted for the stage by Albert Maritz and performed in Afrikaans as an educational production done at schools under the auspices of the Kaaplandse Raad vir die Uitvoerende Kunste (KRUIK) in 1987.
